Help Support :

I watched a doc.

last night on msnbc about the 60's cool genera. It featured flower power, fashion, Woodstock, etc., and the VW Beetle as a culture statement by young people.
Designed during the totalitarian German 3rd. reich, but made it's way to America and sold like crazy. Well, I guess it would at a low price. It also sipped gas.
Young people could say I'm different, and more sensible than my parents large wide heavy car. It also provided an affordable choice as a second car for many families.
A remarkable 40 year run with several tweaks (longer in Mexico) until replaced by the 1976 Rabbit.
While Tappan didn't offer flower power styled appliances, their magazine adds did have model with the fashion. They may have offered custom design service, as Whirlpool, Sears, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Admiral did though.
